Hi.I`ve set up my new box and all seems to work well but tuner B failed when I was doing initial scan.Tuner A works fine on either feed.

Have you disabled Tuner A and tried scanning? Try with one cable then try with the other to rule out cable, LNB, connectors issues.

does seem to be a common issue on these boxes,rechecking f connectors is a must with this issue.:D

Because most people don't fit them properly in the first place, so they tend to fall off at the slightest of movement or short out. If people spent the time to f-plugs properly they would not have so many issues, I always use the screw on type and have never once had a issue with them in nearly twenty years of messing with sat kit.

might also be wrong size of cable used with f connectors and moving boxes around when fumbling in the rear:D

If fitted properly with the correct cable / f-plug, even moving the feed from one box to another multiple times should not really affect them, mine once fitted are so tight they have to be cut off, they certainly wont fall off of their own accord. LOL.

Its not the boxes, its usually (99.9% ) user error.

So you have disabled Tuner A?
